Big Ten bowl projections and College Football Playoff predictions after Week 13

We have the best look at where #B1G teams might go bowling and which ones will make the College Football Playoff than we’ve had to date this season.

The Big Ten has a rich history in bowl games, and the expectations are it will continue in 2023 — we think.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we keep the tradition going and look at where we think all of the teams in the conference will end up when the dust settles on the season. We reevaluate after each week’s games and predict where teams will be traveling for the holidays based on what our eyeballs tell us.

At the end of the regular season, nine conference teams are bowl eligible: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Iowa, Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The latter thanks to it being the best of the five-win teams based on APR score and not enough Football Bowl Subdivision teams getting to six wins.

The big three in the East division are likely headed to a very lucrative bowl, while Michigan and Iowa will battle it out in Indy for the Big Ten championship in what is probably going to be a public flogging on national television.

We try to figure out where all the teams in the conference will go bowling, and which four teams will make the College Football Playoff with just the conference championship games to go.

Keep in mind the scenarios are very complicated with bowl tie-ins and contractual preferences for teams that have not been involved in certain locations, so we do our best to track it all. We also throw in the College Football Playoff picks as a cherry on top of it all.

Below is a look at the bowl predictions for Big Ten teams and complete playoff picks after Week 13, the end of the 2023 regular season.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we keep the tradition going and give you a look at where we think all the teams in the conference will end up when the dust settles on the season, one that has been — and hopefully will continue to be — COVID-19 drama-free for the most part.

We re-evaluate after each week with games and projects based on what we have seen. Week 8 offered another big upset of a team in the top ten along with some surprising struggles from other big-name teams, so it’s had us once again shuffle our bowl projections and predictions.

The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in historical bowl games, and the expectations are set for that to continue in 2019. We gave you projections through the entire season on where we believe all the Big Ten teams would go. To say that it varied and changed from time-to-time would be an understatement.

Now that all the conference championship games are complete and all the bowl games announced, we no longer have to predict or guess — we now know where everything stands.

So, if you’re looking for where and when all the Big Ten teams will play, we’ve got it for you, including the two semi-final College Football Playoff semifinal matchups.

Big Ten Football 2019 Bowl Projections, College Football Playoff picks after week 14

The regular season is over and Big Ten bowl and College Football Playoff matchups are as clear as ever. Here’s a projection post week 14.

The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in historical bowl games, and the expectations are set for that to continue in 2019. Here at Buckeyes Wire, we’re keeping with tradition and giving you a peek at where we think all the teams in the conference will end up when all the dust settles on the season.

We reassess after each week of games and project based on what we’ve seen. And now that the regular season is over, we have had some wholesale chances and have a better idea of where all the teams are going.

Keep in mind that the Big Ten is extremely heavy at the top and this all depends on where the College Football Playoff Rankings shake out. For instance, the Rose Bowl will likely take the next highest rated Big Ten team, but that’s not a given — it is not contractually bound to do so. With that in mind though, it’ll be tight between Wisconsin, Penn State and Minnesota in the final call.

This thing has changed throughout the course of the season, and it still can depending on any chaos that emerges in the conference championship games. So stay tuned.

Also, keep in mind that these scenarios are very complicated with projecting when there’s not enough teams from certain conferences with tie-ins, and the agreements with bowls to not repeat the same program over a certain time-frame if at all possible.

Here’s a look at the projections now after the finish of the regular season.
